In order to more fully understand how we're going to proceed to add graphics support to our engine we need to understand a bit of the history and evolution of graphics APIs. A Brief History of Graphics APIs Graphics APIs evolved through the decades. They start in the early 1990s with Iris GL followed by OpenGL. These are fixed-function immediate mode APIs.

| | Starting with the Maxwell GM20x architecture, Nvidia high-performance GPUs have borrowed techniques from low-power mobile graphics architectures. Specifically, Maxwell and Pascal use tile-based immediate-mode rasterizers that buffer pixel output, instead of conventional full-screen immediate-mode rasterizers. Using simple DirectX shaders, we demonstrate the tile-based rasterization in Nvidia's Maxwell and Pascal GPUs and contrast this behavior to the immediate-mode rasterizer used by AMD.
